  Talk about putting your part of your life’s work completely out to pasture.

  I give it a year. What a shame.

    No kidding. And his post saying it was in good hands knowing full well it’s venture capitalists. Fuck him.

  Thats what they all say when they get acquired. “Won’t change our creative direction” type bs.

  Maybe this is what it will finally take to get some of the bigger game communities off Nexus. It’s a decade overdue.

  Ok, so what is the current alternative nice option for SkyrimSE mods?

  Preferably one with a mod manager/download client. Vortex is kind of janky but it did the job. I’d prefer not to manage any of this stuff manually, like cavemen. it’s been decades you shouldn’t need to do that

    MO2 can do anything Vortex can, and in fact, Stalker and Stalker 2 modders prefer it. The files just need to be hosted elsewhere. A lot of modmakers advise against using Vortex to begin with.

      Oh, thank you! MO2 seems a lot more clean and simple than Vortex.

      …and in related news, now that I’m redownloading everything for funsies anyway, I have graduated from trying to keep my mod lists on a website to scribbling a list down in Joplin. With links and everything. In case these mods I’m using decide to move from Nexus or something.

  Time to cancel the subscription for fast download i guess.

  sure buddy, unfortunately they done that already. I especially love the 3 mbps cap on downloads with free accounts.

  We all know how these things go, so I understand everybody’s fears but please wait to react until they make actual moves toward crossing the line. I remain optimistic about the site’s future, and the recent ways they handled user feedback as it has been changing in the last few years is evidence I should be

    I won’t stop using them because I (seemingly now foolishly) bought the lifetime membership, but I’ll be continuing to look for alternatives.

    I’m not going to continue to invest my time into an inevitable wreck.

  File a lawsuit. Paying customers are supposed to do that if they were given an explanation but in bad-faith language.

  When is Nexus Mods 2: Electric Boogaloo?

    You’re in luck, it’s already in the works.

  I wish I could say this surprised me, but I’ve kind of been expecting this for awhile. They’ve been slowly getting worse for years, it went from just a hobby project to a corporation.

  No they will sell it to someone that will though
